This is the thing. Modern diesels are just so efficient on a run - that it begs the question of adding weight with motors, batteries and all auxiliary kit that goes along with it. More so with the amount of available space within a smallish car. Cash in hand and if a decision had to be made...

I'll check those this weekend if I get the chance - cheers.

It could well be. I'm just a little apprehensive as per @Mr Underhill 's comments above. Is the wheel easy enough to remove?

I don't use a console - but if you use your existing XBox ID on a new XBox - won't that transfer the saved games you've had from previous? No different really than Steam Cloud saves on PCs - some of those saves on there are several years old when I reinstall the games.

Nope - naffink. Enabled cruise control with the switch on the way home yesterday - got the 'SET ---' display showing and nothing at all happened from any of the wheel buttons. @SharpyClio - were the buttons easy enough to swap out mate? Have you any details on where to buy them from too? Cheers.

Honestly - the more trivial a problem is, the more I lose it. I just can't abide stupid arse, lazy and incompetent design decisions. What was wrong in using the same bolt that attached the rear rail to floor? Mongs. The lot of them.

So, twatted the thing repeatedly with a hammer - drowned it from both sides with Plus Gas and ended up with a half inch Torx40 drive on it. It slipped once then started to move - but as per @chazza114 - it got probably about half way before going rock-solid again. No amount of forward and...

Pretty sure I tried that as well on the motorway - but I'll check again tomorrow, just in case I was being a proper tool....

I rarely use my cruise control - but found both it and the speed limiter simply failed to work whilst on the motorway at the weekend. What should I be looking into first? The switch appears to work on the dash - and the light goes from green to orange, depending upon which function I pick. I...

Cheers both - nabbed a can of that before I have another go at it over the weekend.

Those were the halcyon days of FPSs. No monetisation. No grindy unlock trees. Just red and blue teams fighting it out with the emphasis on skill. Simple, fun and addictive gameplay. Something that I think has been lost in some ways over recent years.

It is - not sure why Google agreed with my search?! :P

They need to do a reboot of UT2004. Opposing Worlds map - pretty much perfect.

Yeah - tried that. It wasn't up for making any change to it, unfortunately.

The irony with mine is that the bracket that the rear bolt (I assume?) is meant to hold down on the floor tightly - isn't doing so. It wobbles about fairly easy - so is pretty much doing nothing other than being a primordial weapon of the highest order. Getting slightly addicted to having the...

That's next on the list!

What an absolute t**t this thing is. Got it soaked in WD on Friday (both above and from underneath) and tried it about an hour ago. Not so much as a millimetre of movement. 1/4" inch socket set is way too weak, so will have got a 1/2" Torx40 bit on the way. Gave top and bottom another soaking...

I still prefer its American Truck Simulator sibling over the Euro one.

I'd drive back to Oxford the other way around. Shove the Transit on the trailer and tow it with the pickup. Probably the same cost in fuel as a Falcon Heavy launch - but it would be worth it.

Couple of laps earlier in the Lexus RC F GT3 car against some AI GT4 competition. Looks a bit weird with no wheel and drivers arms - but my actual wheel overlays the bottom of the TV from my seat. So it 'feels' more realistic from that seating position.

Rather than faff about jacking it up, I'll nip round to the garage next to work tomorrow and have a look at the bolt from underneath. At the very least, I'll get it soaked in WD and maybe the odd thwack from above. I'll definitely NOT use an impact given the horror results on this thread!

Begger's belief that Renault used such a bolt there in the first place, made out of cheese. Granted, it's hardly ever accessed - this is the first time in my car since it was new. But surely a more robust option would have made a lot more sense for the 12.57p cost per unit difference?

It's strange because the two (zinc?) bolts - one each side of the bar came out pretty easy. I'll see if I can get under easily enough with WD. Fecking thing!!

So, I have a couple Torx-40 bit and a ratchet, but this little t**t is refusing to budge. I've sprayed some WD on it, though I'm really wary that the T-40 bits will just start to chew up the metal. Is an impact gun the best option? I'll bob by a garage and see if they can zap it loose - unless...

Looks a nice purchase - welcome to the BG Master Race! ;)

So, this little addition arrived yesterday and it's definitely added to the game. I think I'll be building up my leg muscles in using it over distance though! :P

I can believe it. When I picked my 182 up from Renault back in '04 - I was actually a bit disappointed with the feedback from the gearbox. Selecting gears was never a problem, but it had the directional commitment of a spoon handle in semi-solid porridge. When the first service came around at...

+1 I'll bang the drum for changing gearbox oil until I'm pushing up daisies. SO worth doing - especially if there is no record of it being drained and swapped previously.

Watched a YouTube video recently of a bloke in America buying a ropey looking Bentley at auction. Pretty sure that NASA operates some space missions with less complex electronics. A bottomless pit of issues.

Snap! Looking forward to the CSL load-cell brake pedal turning up. Fanatec said it was out for delivery from the 21st July, so it should be here at some point soon. Managed to dip into the 1.27's earlier too.
